time until nearly midnight the two ele-
vatorS were constantly flying up and
down their shafts filled with ladies and
gentlemen who had come to see how
newspapers are made.
Are we going to the cloudS?" asked
one pretty girl Of her escort, and he re-
piled that if nothing happened to stop
the elevator they would go some way

of the visitors tended first to the rooms

When the guests reached the Office of

An Honest Man.

When Judge Murphy adjourned
court for the noon recess yesterday a
young man stepped up to him and
whispered; Judge, [ have found a
pocket-book containing So, 500; what
shall do with it?''
" re an honest man., replied the
Judge; stake the money down to the
chief of police and when the owner
comes he will reward you.
The young man was taken by Asst.
Dist. Atty. Kirk to the chiefs Office.
There he said he had discovered the
owners address among the bills, and,
declining further assistance, started off.
Two hours later the finder of the
money returned to Judge Murphy's
courtroom and reported that he had
found the owner of the money, A.
Janigg, in a grocery store at the Mis-
sion. The sum was $500, not $500,
he said. and the owner had given him
S25 for his honesty. The young man
stated that his name was Alfred
Triadent, and that for seven years he
had been a linguist, employed in the
department of the interior. He found
the portmanteau containing the money
on Market street near the Palace hotel.
Two years ago he found s1,7oo which

RICH BITUMEN BED.
\ Flaming Jet OF Gas From Hot
sulphur Springs.

sulphur Springs.
A letter from San Luis, Obispo, Cal.
to The San Francisco Chronicle says:
The remarkable recent discoveries are
the result of an experimental boring
for oil. The abundance OF asphaltum
in this country has long been mat
ter of notoriety, and its mining and
shipping to San Francisco has for many
years constituted large and profitable
business, some $500 tons being the an
nual product.
The existence of asphaltum intimated
the existence of petroleum. In the val.
ley of San Luis creek, about two miles
from its entrance into the Bay of San
Luis Obispo, DR.. G. R. Nichols. the
owner of the land, observed some rock
appearing to contain asphaltum or oil,
and proposed boring on the spot.
Taking as associates in the enterprise
Judge Fred Adams, a capitalist, and
Ali Walker, practical operator, the
project of boring. was undertaken about
one year ogo.
At about six hundred feet in depth
the artesian auger entered body of
rock from which flowed a large volume
OF sulphur-Water accompanied by an
infammable gas. The water has
temperature of 80 degrees and flows
about thirty thousand barrels a day.
The gas. when confined in Jet of four
inches in width and one-sixteenth in
thickness burns with flame two or
three feet high. The quantity of gas
flowing from the well has never been
measured, but it is estimated by some
to be more than double that used in
lighting the city of San Luis Obispo.
The boring was continued until a
depth of very near nine hundred feet
was reached, without any change, and
there it rests. This singular WELL with
its fountain of hot sulphur water sur
mounted by its waving plume Of flame,
is situated in a very pleasant and ro-
mantle locality in a valley threaded by
pretty little stream and amid great
oak and sycamore trees, while between
it and the ocean is a high hill, which
shelters it from the heavy sea breeze,
that is sometimes dlgagreeable, render
ing the climate always as genial and
lovely as the scenery is picturesque
and beautiful. To the general public,
or at least to the lover of the aesthetic,
it is deemed a great good fortune that
no oil was found, as, instead, the local
ity has been turned into a park, appro-
priately named Nichols park, bath
rooms and restaurants constructed,
swings suspended from the high branch
es Of the trees, a dancing floor laid,
and the beginning made of what must
be the most attractive resort in the
state. Bathing in the water affords in
expressible delight The temperature
is perfect for the purpose, the water
health giving and soft and in every
sense delicious. The resort is of easy
access, as on the opposite side of the
valley, few hundred yards distant, is
the Pacific Coast railway, and good
wagon roads lead to San Luis and to
Pismo, either about five or six miles
away.
This is one of the great and singular
developments Of the year.
